You just stand on the seat

Got to be careful doing that in Death Valley. Our row broke at the end of the 2008 Bama/LSU game. I didn't look like the first time that had happened on that row either.

No need to worry:

At Tiger Stadium, bleachers in the east, north and west sections of the lower bowl have deteriorated and will either be replaced or reinstalled depending on their condition, David said. The south section will not be treated because maintenance was done two years ago. The process starts with the removal of all bleachers in the aforementioned areas, David said. The concrete where the bleachers were removed will then be cleaned and waterproofed. David said waterproofing involves application of a topical coating to the concrete. The replacement or reinstallation of the bleachers will complete the project, making for sturdier seating on gamedays while protecting the concrete structure of the stadium for long-term use. These precautions will be complete before the first home game of the coming season on Sept. 6, David said. They will amount to $1.6 million.

...so Tiger Stadium will looking pretty spiffy for the September 6th home opener!

I always thought the student section rows would break. They seemed pretty unsturdy and were very difficult to stand on if you were drunk and people starting jumping up and down
